Instructions
Creating a cottage cheese frittata is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Vegetables: Chop spinach, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice bell peppers, and finely chop the onion.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and bell peppers, cooking until soft (about 3-4 minutes).
4. Add Spinach and Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped spinach and halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
5. Whisk the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
6. Mix in Cottage Cheese: Add cottage cheese to the beaten eggs, stirring until well combined.
7. Combine Mixtures: Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
8. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the egg mixture.
9. Cook on the Stove: Allow the frittata to cook on the stove for about 5 minutes until the edges start to set.
10. Transfer to the Oven: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the frittata is puffed and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
11. Cool and Slice: Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice into wedges.
